what did that law do? one of the things it did was cut spending $900 billion over the next ten years. i can tell you, it put in place ten years of spend caps. ten years of spending caps. a typical budget resolution only deals with one year. the budget control act, the law that we passed last year put in place ten years of spending caps, saving $900 billion. in addition, it said we're going to create a special committee to deal with the entitlement programs and the tax system, and we're going to say to that special committee if you can come to an agreement, you will not face a filibuster, you will not face delays, you will be able to bring that proposal right to the floor of the united states senate and get a vote. and they further said but if you don't agree, there will be another $1.2 trillion of spending cuts imposed. and of course we all know now the special committee couldn't agree. and so that additional $1.2 trillion of spending cuts is now the law of the land on top of the $900 billion of spending c

we have to support our laws. but, you know, this reminds me of a gentleman that i met when i was a young man, a guy named kiko. he's from cuba. he came to the united states, became a citizen, worked hard, saved his money. built a business. gave me my first job. you know, this is someone who has chased the american dream and has caught it. so when we talk about immigration, we need to remember that we're talking about people who are coming to the united states for a better way of life, and that is something that we should all be honored that people want to come so they can have a shot at the american dream. now, at the same time we need to make sure that we secure our borders, both north and south. we need to make sure that we give our employers the tools they need with e-verify to make sure people who are looking for work are legally allowed to get work. what we can't do, though, is to continue to have a system that encourages people to break the law instead of do the right thing. >> moderator: congressman, thank

the bottom line is this -- we cannot afford this law. and the additional burden that it places on our finances. we must repeal this health care law in its entirety and replace it with the kind of reforms that improve both our finances and the health care costs of americans, not driving up their costs. this bill, whether you like it or not, will not be implemented. we don't have the money. at this time of high unemployment, no growth, it will be hard to do the things that are necessary, that we have to do. fix social security. fix medicare. provide for the common defense. those things have got to be done. we have no money to pay for a 2.6 trillion program over a ten-year period. we have got to save these programs that we're committed to first. the medicare program won't be fully implemented until 2014. it's not too laid to stop it now and we're going to have to, madam president, simply because the finances of this country will not allow for it. i thank the chair and would yield the floor. a senator: madam president? the presiding officer:
